Despite recently laying off some U.S. support staff, Funcom is insisting that the console version of Age of Conan is on track. Age of Conan, especially for the PC, remains a priority for Funcom even with other projects in the works.

"We had high expectations when we first set out to do a console version of Age of Conan, and these remain high," said Arne Aas. "Even though Age of Conan is an MMO that is especially suited to the console platform, there is a lot of work to be done in terms of tailoring it for the Xbox 360 console. "The Xbox 360 game will also contain most, if not all of the content and improvements that have been made to the PC version of the game," he added.

The evolution of Age of Conan since launch has been useful for the team working on The Secret World, influencing design and providing improved technical assistance, said Arne Aas.
